City police are looking for two people considered persons of interest in their investigation of a December bomb threat at the local Bombardier plant.
Thunder Bay Police Service officers released surveillance video of a public telephone on Vickers Street and Arthur Street Tuesday afternoon. The video showed two people using the phone around noon on Dec. 9, 2011.
Police believe the phone in the video was the same one that made the call about the bomb threat to the plant.
Officials at the Thunder Bay bombardier plant received the phone call on the afternoon of Friday, Dec. 9, 2011. The call indicated that a bomb had been planted in the main building of the facility.

More than 900 employees were evacuated and driven to the nearby AbitibiBowater plant to wait while Thunder Bay Police Service and the OPP officers search the building.
Const. Julie Tilbury said it took investigators some time to get their hands on the footage because of the holidays.
Despite the delay, police officers were still able to get the phone number through the help of TbayTel and Bombardier security systems, she added.
“We’re just asking for the public if they know who any of the individuals are, give us a call the public and we can have them spoken to,” Tilbury said.
“Police will determine if these individuals are indeed the individuals responsible for this call and we’ll take it from there.”
The police are not labeling the two people in the video as suspects.
The images are also available on the Thunder Bay Police Service website.
If anyone has information about this incident or the identity of this individuals please call Police at 684-1200 or Crime Stoppers at 623-8477.
